Web developers: when you say, “your browser does not support this site,” what you REALLY mean is that YOU don’t support the browser. Don’t turn it around on the user because you chose not to stick to well-supported standards, or worse, are doing user agent sniffing.

If you truly use some feature shipped by one browser and not everyone, at least say, “We use x standard feature, which is unsupported in this browser.” But even then, the web is all about progressive enhancement.

@cassidy if your browser doesn't support websites you're a liability for yourself and everyone else, also stop using internet explorer

@Felipe_B yeah, right, except it happens when I’m using modern standards-compliant browsers like Firefox and GNOME Web—basically anything NOT based on Google’s code. We don’t need to cede even more control of the Internet to Google’s whims, thank you very much.
